Ungenaue Tarifkalkulation und versteckte Systemnutzungsentgelte
Definition
TAG tariffs increased dramatically: Baumgarten entry capacity from €1.37 to €2.77 /kWh/h/year (102% increase). Commodity SUC at Entry decreased from €0.04313 to €0.03322 /MWh (23% decrease). Shippers manually tracking these changes across 4+ TSOs (TAG, GUD, GASCADE, OGE) with different tariff structures (seasonal multipliers: quarterly 1.25x, monthly 1.5x, daily 2x, intraday 3x) creates cumulative budget errors. No standardized tariff API exists.
Key Findings
- Financial Impact: €50,000–€300,000 annually per shipper; 5–10% budget forecast error on transmission costs; 100–200 hours/year manual tariff reconciliation
- Frequency: Annual (Jan 1 rate changes); quarterly (seasonal multiplier adjustments); monthly (invoice variance investigation)
- Root Cause: TSOs publish tariffs in PDF/spreadsheet format, not APIs; tariff changes are not machine-readable; shipper ERP systems require manual rate table updates; no automated alert on tariff change
